    Solo hunting anxiety

    Solo hunter here.... Never leave home without my in-Reach and a trauma kit. Feels nice to know that the long-line ship is only a push of the button away.

    Spreading myself thin...

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I'm curious... I work and live in the mountains of NWest Montana. Specifically, I work for the state DNRC and cover A LOT of ground during the year, seeing and learning 1,000's of acres of good game habitat. Over my 15 years as I hunter here I've had...

    Archery mule deer

    Glassed up some alpine monsters the other day at work, NWest Montana. I was able to stalk to within 50 yards of these two bucks bedded on a ridge before my dog blew up the scene...pretty exciting day at the office to say the least! I think I'm going to switch plans next week and try and chase...

    Surveyors! What is your daypack?

    Those Deakin vests out of BC look pretty nice. There's just a poor part of me that can't fathom spending $400-$700 on a backpack and strapping paint cans and shovels to it. Looking around the internet this week I think I'm going to snag an old Lowe Alpine or Dana pack of eBay for $60 or...

    Surveyors! What is your daypack?

    Wow, I got on your site and you make some great looking packs! I couldnt agree more. After my first few months in a cruisers vest I decided to try out my bino harness and a daypack one day and never went back. Looking at upgrading to something larger for holding a tablet, reliscope and such...

    Surveyors! What is your daypack?

    Surveyors, foresters and other renegades...I know theres a lot of you out there! What are your daypacks? I'm tired of messing around with today's lightweight packs that don't hold up to the abuse of my day job. I recently retired an old (90's) Osprey snowboarding pack that was legendary. Beefy...

    Outdoor Work Pants

    Same question...but for winter use?? I'm looking for something that handles a decent amount of woods abuse, doesn't break the budget (or if it does, lasts a season or 2), and can be worn on extended snow missions. Lots of the guys I work with run expensive wool pants (Filson, LLBean, Woolrich)...

    Any Eberlestock F1 Mainframe pack users out ther?

    Yes…check it out. Kuiu bag on the F1 frame, small foam butt pad strapped on the exterior for glassing. This is a great setup and didn’t cost much at the time, back when the F1 frame was about $60…

    My Masterpiece

    Hey Fellas, I know we are all masters of the meat on here. I keep things incredibly simple with our game meats, and the steaks are always humongous. Wanted to share my recent masterpiece. Soaked two elk eye-of-rounds, slathered in EVOO salt and pepper, in ziplocks for 2 days. Handfuls of...

    Kenetrek Mountain Extremes

    I have worn Kenetrek Extremes for about a decade, hunting and winter logging. Treat them with Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP wax/oil. Never had wet or cold feet, wore the Mountain Extreme 1000g for a while, but they were limited during our Montana hunting season (feet got too hot!) so switched it up to...
